Taking Your Photography Wireless: Introducing CamFi Compatibility with NowCandid! 📸

Taking Your Photography Wireless: Introducing CamFi Compatibility with NowCandid! 📸
Hello, photographers!

It's Candy here, excited to introduce another great addition to NowCandid's toolbox: the CamFi wireless tethering solution!

Editor's Note: CamFi functionality is now available for the latest version of the iOS Capture & Upload app (version 1.0.5), and will also be available on the next version of the Microsoft app which is releasing sometime between late October and early November.

Why Go Wireless with CamFi? 🌐

For photographers on the move, CamFi is a game-changer. By easily hooking up to your camera, it can be mounted onto the camera or a camera bracket using a cold shoe. Then, it connects to an LTE device via the device's WiFi connection. This means no more being tied down (literally) by cables. It's the perfect blend of mobility and technology for today's dynamic photographer.

Set-Up Made Simple 🛠️

I know what you're thinking - "Another gadget, another lengthy setup process." But with CamFi, it's different. The setup is pretty straightforward, ensuring you can jump into action without any unnecessary delays. For a step-by-step guide, be sure to check out our detailed setup guide.

Increased Mobility & Flexibility 🕺💃

Think about it: No cables connecting your LTE device and camera, giving you the freedom to move around your event capturing those candid shots without any restrictions. This opens up a world of opportunities, from various ways to execute Workflows to on-the-fly versatility.

Stellar Wireless Tether Range 📡

The wireless range on the CamFi is impressive. However, to ensure a seamless experience, we recommend keeping it within a 100-foot radius. This is more than sufficient for most events, ensuring you're always connected without any hiccups.

Full Compatibility with NowCandid Workflows 👩‍💼

Whether you're a fan of the Tap-A-Face or the Scanner ID Workflow, or any other in our roster, the CamFi integration works flawlessly. It feels like they were made for each other!

Important Note 🚫

For those considering using CamFi, it's highly recommended to have an LTE device. Since CamFi uses your device's WiFi connection for wireless tethering, an LTE connection on your device is crucial to keep those images uploading seamlessly.

To sum up:

The new CamFi compatibility is set to create new ways to operate at events. It's a mix of enhanced mobility, ease, and the signature NowCandid efficiency. So, here's to capturing memories wirelessly! 🥂📷

Till next time, happy shooting!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
